<Greetings colleagues!>Daniel Freeman has given us his blessing to research and rewrite the History of the World Chess Championship.
<Historiographical method>
1. All facts in the intros must be sourced to reliable material. Footnotes must be supplied.
2. No editorializing. No assuming facts, attitudes or states of mind not in evidence from a reliable source.
<WCC Forum Function>
The deposition and discussion of resource materials needed to write new drafts to replace the old WCC intros.
==============
If you have any editing suggestions for any of the WCC mirror drafts in our profile, please email them to me at

<Suggested Standardization Template for Writers>
1. How did the Match come about?
2. What were the conditions for the Match? The stakes, the number of games, the rules, and this could also include information about the backers, the venue, the referees, and so on.
3. What happened at the Match?

Wiener Schachzeitung:
It was brought back to life after WWI in 1923 under the name <Neue Wiener Schach-Zeitung> but the old name was reinstated already in 1924, when it was called <Wiener Schach-Zeitung>. So <Neue Wiener Schach-Zeitung> only if the 1923 issues are quoted.
1855: <Wiener Schach-Zeitung>
1887-1888: <Wiener Schachzeitung>
1889: <Wiener Zeitung> (just a small special edition with a chessboard picture between <Wiener> and <Zeitung>)

<SITE FIELD> Country Code guidelines, courtesy of User: Paint My Dragon:
The normally accepted convention is, I believe, to refer to the URS (The Soviet Union) from 22 Dec 1922 until 26 Dec 1991, when the Union collapsed, and thereafter, to use RUS (Russia), or one of the other Baltic states that formerly comprised the Union.
Unfortunately, the attribution of three-letter country codes to the Balkan states over a range of dates spanning the nineties and noughties, is a much more complicated process, and more than I could begin to explain on these pages, so pray hard that you don't have to report on any matches from what used to constitute Yugoslavia!

"Shakhmatny vs. Shakmaty" by <Switch>:
Some magazines have the N in their names (e.g. Shakhmatny(i) Bulletin, Shakhmatny(i) Listok, Shakhmatny(i) V(y)estnik). Others don't (Shakhmaty v SSSR, Shakhmaty v Rossii). The trick is to keep them apart :)

From <Switch>:
I think using mdy in article bodies (as the plurality of our promoted drafts do) and dmy in footnotes (as all of our promoted drafts do) would be both a sensible compromise and in line with what's already gone up, but perhaps that's just me.

Sousse Interzonal (1967)
The leaderboard includes Fischer's games and the crosstable doesn't. Korchnoi, Portisch, and Kavalek all drew Fischer, so they have an extra half point in the leaderboard. Others who lost to him have 22 games while those that didn't play him have 21 games.
